As a reworking of one of the great 1960s TV comedies, you'd think being funny would be its main goal. But you would be wrong. Very, very wrong.
I often wondered if the filmmakers weren't trying to fix something that isn't broken.
One of the more pleasant surprises of the year.
Get Smart is likable and very funny -- at least a two-to-one ratio of excellent gags to clunkers -- but it's not, for better or worse, Get Smart.
Written and directed with efficiency, cheer, and a refreshing lack of look-how-meta-clever-we-are egotism, the movie references just enough of the original touchstones and punchlines to please those who lived it the first time.
Chipper, energetic and unimaginatively plotted re-do.
Get Smart certainly has its moments, but suffers badly from an inability to balance the surreal humor and life-threatening terrorist threat.
There's enough packed in there to warrant a viewing if you fancy a bit of fun.
Get Smart is a nice afternoon diversion. There are no big laughs to be had, no matter how hard it tries, but there are lots and lots of chuckles, and that's probably good enough.
The hostile repartee between the characters is as ungainly as director Peter Segal's lumbering action sequences
It has at least five undeniable laughs.
While I think ultimately this film is unnecessary, it's still fairly entertaining and it's certainly better than the recent Pink Panther reboot with Steve Martin.
What do dithering tv weathermen do when they retire? They must take their lame, witless banter and their awkward timing to Hollywood to write and direct movies. That might explain Get Smart, one of the latest in a long line of humid, mediocre, tire
...a manufactured piece of work that's been geared towards the lowest common denominator.
It's all great PG-13 fun, a family-friendly spy spoof that's as funny as it is action-packed.
The movie disc's extras include some 45 minutes of alternative jokes that you have the option of seeing and hearing while you watch the movie.
Without Anne Hathaway, Get Smart might have been a one-note comedy; with her, it's super spirited and super fun.
This retro-espionage spoof is more giggles than satirical grit, and simply lacks the comic punch and charisma, along with the pungent Cold War flavor of the times that energized the original."This retro-espionage spoof is more giggles than satirical grit,
...funny, clever, nostalgic, up-to-date, and...well...smart. (Blu-ray Edition)
Not funny outrageous or funny gross, but funny cute, funny nice, funny mild.
